Re-writing Networking

Founding Story

In my quest for meaningful connections, I saw a glaring gap for women in male-dominated fields. As a screenwriter crafting empowering stories on screen, my own narrative lacked the authentic, enriching relationships vital for personal and professional growth. This realization led me to pursue a Masters in Business, Technology, and Design at USC, where the enormity of this issue became clear. Shocking statistics showed that achieving gender parity was on track to take 132 years, with women 28% less likely to have a robust network, despite 80% of job opportunities relying on it. The urgency to bridge this gap was undeniable. At Tens, we are committed to creating a platform for empowering relationships, driven by our belief in Tens' ability to inspire genuine positive change. This mission that ignites our passion every day, and we invite you to the effort. Welcome to Tens,
